Late delivery caused loss of earnings

Q: I ordered a product from a shop and it was not delivered in time as it was described which led to losses in my business. Can I claim for this?

A: You may be able to claim if the late product was a direct cause of your financial losses as per the Sale of Goods and Services Act. These losses must be a reasonable consequence of the product arriving late. Start by sending a letter before action and give them 14 days to respond.

I made an insurance claim through a bank for a damaged television and they allowed me to make a claim and then sent the monies to a third party company for the purchase of a new television. I went to the shop and agreed to purchase the stand and remote for £3,740. I was issued an invoice from the shop for all items, but I was not told that I would need to pay separately for the television remote and stand. The shop will not give me these products until I pay for them – even though the money to pay for the television is from my insurance. What should I do about this situation?

I purchased a new car through a website. After I took the car on a test drive and an inspection, the gear box was making a horrible noise. I took the car to a garage and they said they thought it was the axle. The seller is not willing to take the car back and the garage is not able to fix the vehicle as it would be very expensive. The seller confirmed that she was a private individual immediately prior to the purchase of the car. The seller also told me verbally that the car was in good condition and a good runner. What can I do about this situation?

I signed up for a home insurance policy that I found online, but it was only when I called to purchase it that they told me there would be a £50 administration charge. The fourteen day cooling period has not passed yet, and I was not aware of the charges that should have applied. I want to know where I stand. What can I do?
